Firefox Addon to Download Videos From Any Site

By

Well, today most software portals and websites provide software and widgets which lets you download videos from Youtube, Metacafe, Ifilm and so on, but the list ends.

I was just browsing through the Firefox extensions page when I spotted a similar kind of extension, except this tiny extension lets you ‘unplug’ videos from ‘any’ site. Self-titled ‘Unplug’, with a fish with a cheesy smile as the icon, UnPlug lets you download videos from any site.

Whether it’s a video from Youtube you want, a trailer from IMDB or just some cool street racing vid on a tiny blog somewhere, UnPlug lets you download it. I was quite impressed so the least I could do was spread the word.

update – UnPlug no longer works for DailyMotion…atleast for now.

update – turns out there are quite a few video sites i discovered that UnPlug doesn’t support. DownloadHelper though, another Firefox extension offers much more compatibility and i suggest you use it instead.

To find out more about UnPlug visit their MozDev page or the Firefox extensions page.
